On September 9th, Tony and Ciara from Platform20 attended the Bon Secours Physio Education Night in Cork. The event brought together surgeons, physiotherapists, and GPs to share the latest thinking in orthopaedic and sports injury management, with a strong focus on rehabilitation and recovery.

Expert-Led Programme

The evening featured talks from leading clinicians, including:

• Mr. Declan Bowler, Consultant Orthopaedic & Sports Surgeon – ACL Reconstruction with Quadriceps Graft: “The Best Graft Needs the Best Physio”

• Ms. Anita Thompson, Senior Orthopaedic Physiotherapist – Acute Post-Operative Physiotherapy Management of ACL Quadriceps Graft: What is New?

• Mr. David Morrissey, Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon – Management of Sports-Related Shoulder Injuries

The session was chaired by Dr. Padraig McGillicuddy, GP at Carrigaline Medical Practice.

Spotlight on GameReady for ACL Patients

During the evening, Tony and Ciara showcased GameReady, highlighting how the system combines cold therapy with intermittent compression to reduce pain, swelling, and recovery time after surgery.

We also shared details of our partnership with Mr. Declan Bowler, where all of his ACL reconstruction patients at Bon Secours Cork are supported in their recovery with GameReady Ireland. As part of this pathway, patients receive access to the system immediately after surgery, ensuring they benefit from advanced recovery support from day one.

A Step Forward in Recovery Care

By combining clinical expertise with advanced recovery technology, patients undergoing ACL reconstruction at Bon Secours Cork are supported with the very best in surgical care, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation tools.

Platform20 is proud to play a role in this pathway, ensuring patients have the right support throughout their recovery journey.
